在上一篇文章里面分析WebappClassLoader.loadClass,了解了Tomcat是如何打破双亲委派的. 有兴趣的可以参考. 细说Tomcat如何打破双亲委派(有源码和图)
但是上面的分析偏重于流程,没有分析ClassLoader是如何加按照顺序寻址,然后加载对应的Class到二进制流中.
WebappClassLoader.loadClass在违背双亲委派规则,自己寻址class文件时,就会调用下面的函数,函数已经添加了注释. 此函数依旧没有分析是如何寻址文件的,寻址文件的代码在findResourceInternal()中,它同时包括了对Jar,class, properties的寻址, 稍后有空在对此函数进行分析.
/** * Find the specified class in our local repositories, if possible. If * not found, throw <code>ClassNotFoundException</code>. * * @param name Name of the class to be loaded * * @exception ClassNotFoundException if the class was not found */ @Override public Class<?> findClass(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException { if (log.isDebugEnabled()) log.debug(" findClass(" + name + ")"); // Cannot load anything from local repositories if class loader is stopped if (!started) { throw new ClassNotFoundException(name); } //--默认为NULL, security获取package.definition的定义,默认的定义可以在如下地址找到 //--${TOMCAT_HOME}\bin\bootstrap.jar\org\apache\catalina\startup\catalina.properties //--package.definition=sun.,java.,org.apache.catalina.,org.apache.coyote.,org.apache.tomcat.,org.apache.jasper. //--如果加载的package被包含了,则抛出异常,加载失败 // (1) Permission to define this class when using a SecurityManager if (securityManager != null) { int i = name.lastIndexOf('.'); if (i >= 0) { try { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace(" securityManager.checkPackageDefinition"); securityManager.checkPackageDefinition(name.substring(0,i)); } catch (Exception se) { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace(" -->Exception-->ClassNotFoundException", se); throw new ClassNotFoundException(name, se); } } } //-- 从父类查找Class(默认会跳过), 因为hasExternalRepositories && searchExternalFirs为false //-- Ask our superclass to locate this class, if possible // (throws ClassNotFoundException if it is not found) Class<?> clazz = null; try { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace(" findClassInternal(" + name + ")"); if (hasExternalRepositories && searchExternalFirst) { try { clazz = super.findClass(name); } catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) { // Ignore - will search internal repositories next } catch(AccessControlException ace) { log.warn("WebappClassLoader.findClassInternal(" + name + ") security exception: " + ace.getMessage(), ace); throw new ClassNotFoundException(name, ace); } catch (RuntimeException e) { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace(" -->RuntimeException Rethrown", e); throw e; } } //-开始从本地加载Class if ((clazz == null)) { try { clazz = findClassInternal(name); } catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) { if (!hasExternalRepositories || searchExternalFirst) { throw cnfe; } } catch(AccessControlException ace) { log.warn("WebappClassLoader.findClassInternal(" + name + ") security exception: " + ace.getMessage(), ace); throw new ClassNotFoundException(name, ace); } catch (RuntimeException e) { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace(" -->RuntimeException Rethrown", e); throw e; } } //--hasExternalRepositories:如果之前添加了外部路径,可以尝试从外部路径查找Class if ((clazz == null) && hasExternalRepositories && !searchExternalFirst) { try { clazz = super.findClass(name); } catch(AccessControlException ace) { log.warn("WebappClassLoader.findClassInternal(" + name + ") security exception: " + ace.getMessage(), ace); throw new ClassNotFoundException(name, ace); } catch (RuntimeException e) { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace(" -->RuntimeException Rethrown", e); throw e; } } //--如果都尝试了依旧找不到,就抛出异常了 if (clazz == null) { if (log.isDebugEnabled()) log.debug(" --> Returning ClassNotFoundException"); throw new ClassNotFoundException(name); } } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.trace(" --> Passing on ClassNotFoundException"); throw e; } // Return the class we have located if (log.isTraceEnabled()) log.debug(" Returning class " + clazz); if (log.isTraceEnabled()) { ClassLoader cl; if (Globals.IS_SECURITY_ENABLED){ cl = AccessController.doPrivileged( new PrivilegedGetClassLoader(clazz)); } else { cl = clazz.getClassLoader(); } log.debug(" Loaded by " + cl.toString()); } return (clazz); }
总结一下,就是这个函数默认的是直接在Tomcat本地查找Class,但是提供了参数可以控制从父类,或者指定的目录去查找Class.
